Brutalist 1970s Vintage Brass Squiggle Necklace

This vintage 1970s Brutalist necklace proves that organic, hand-formed design can be completely timeless. In a rich, antiqued brass - the ultimate warm neutral - this hand-sculpted studio piece features a dramatic, squiggle molten texture, juxtaposed against a smooth creamy enamel inlay that gracefully accentuates the collarbone.

Whether layered over a minimalist knit dress or styled inside an open-collar silk button-down, its architectural frame lends an immediate air of effortless, artistic luxury.

This archival piece was produced circa 1970. 

We have a bracelet that is a sister piece, please check the jewellery section of the store. Please note that this is sold separately.
